Lovely apartment.

The apartment was very clean, well located well furnished and well appointed. Just a small niggle because we were there for two weeks……the front door needs a heavier blind as it’s reflected in the TV until the sun goes down. We loved the village atmosphere of the little shopping strip round the corner.
